I express hatred towards the police, not because all individual police officers are inherently bad people, but rather due all police officers contributing to the system of oppression that is the state. I'm absolutely positive that all soldier in Nazi Germany weren't individually bad people, and they probably had the same goals and aspirations as all of us, but I hate them all because, whether they realized it or not, they were participating in an evil system.

@Radical_EgoCom I apologize for the lousy translation.
If they're working at the point of contact with the police, then hate is a completely unworkable concept. Ineffective.

In my day job, they work with the police (working with homeless people). Some are good, some are assholes.

@Radical_EgoCom If I'm at a protest, a demonstration, then I'm on the other side of the barricade. But even then, negotiating with the cops is better if they treat them like people doing their job. In my country it's not very good, but it's not very bad either. We can work together, or we can harm each other. We're gonna create this, in the moment.

I can't more adamantly express the feasibility of negotiating with the police over inherent systemic issues within law enforcement. The police, as an institution, function to uphold existing power structures and capitalist interests, making genuine negotiation challenging, id not impossible. Meaningful change requires challenging and dismantling the existing system, rather than engaging in negotiations within a framework that inherently perpetuates inequality and hierarchy.
